Bloomberg ends US presidential campaign

Michael Bloomberg has ended his bid for the White House after a poor showing on Super Tuesday.

American billionaire Michael Bloomberg has suspended his campaign to be the Democratic party's presidential candidate. He had failed to win a single state on what's known as Super Tuesday, despite spending about five hundred million dollars on campaigning. We'll speak to our correspondent in Washington DC.

We continue to look at the global impact of the coronavirus outbreak and hear from health reporters in Italy, India and the US. We also speak to our health experts about a new podcast they are launching today with all the latest on the outbreak.

And we hear from a US long-distance runner, who overcame an injury, depression and an eating disorder and decided to run her first ever marathon. Molly Seidel was so fast that she has now qualified for the Olympics.
